Chapter 491 After leaving Michaels office , Andrew said , Ms.

Rhodes , Mr.

Chapman , dont give up the game isnt over yet .

Lauren turned to Marcus .

Mr.

Chapman , you can work in another department temporarily .

Ill make sure you get your position back .noveldrama

Marcus waved his hand tiredly and replied , No need , Mr.

Lloyd and Ms.

Rhodes youve both helped me enough .

At my age , perhaps its time to wake up and let go of these ambitious .

pursuits .

Maybe living a simple life as an ordinary person is the right choice for me .

Lauren quickly protested , Mr.

Chapman , you dont have to do this ! Marcus shook his head and smiled at them both .

Ms.

Rhodes and Mr.

Lloyd , when you have children of your own , maybe youll understand how I feel right now .

Lauren blushed and shot Andrew a shy glare .

Just then , a bearded man strode over with a grin , saying , Ah , Ms.

Rhodes , Mr.

Lloyd , and Mr.

Chapman all together ! I just heard Mr.

Chapman talking about wanting to live a simple life .

What an excellent idea ! He gave Marcus a thumbs up with a smirk and added , Well done , Mr.

Chapman ! If you hadnt stepped away from the Pharmaceutical Division , I wouldnt have been able to take over .

Marcuss face darkened as he replied , Mr.

MacAfee , youve been eyeing my position for a while .

Now that youve got it , I bet it tastes sweet ? Lauren added coldly , Mr.

MacAfee , you and Mr.

Chapman are both company veterans and used to be friends .

Are you really proud of taking your colleagues job ? Troy MacAfee shrugged and said , In business , you either move forward or fall behind .

Everyone wants the position if Mr.

Chapman couldnt handle it , why shouldnt I step up ? Ms.

Rhodes , theres no need to make it sound so ugly I earned this position fair and square .

Marcus angrily retorted , Fine , you took my position , but you dont need to gloat about it .

If Mr.

Rhodes hadnt favored you , do you really think you could have replaced me ? Troy mocked , Well , thats exactly the difference between us .

Youre capable but dont know how to read the room .

To be blunt , youre missing a few screws ! Mr.

Rhodes is such a talented figure , yet you oppose him instead of following him .

You deserve to end up like this ! With that , Troy strutted into Michaels office , laughing triumphantly .

Marcus said solemnly , I never expected Troy to side with Mr.

Rhodes .

Ms.

Rhodes , your situation in the company will likely get more difficult each day .

Lauren scoffed .

Ive never been afraid of incompetent people like Michael ! Andrew suggested , Its almost time to leave work .

Ms.

Rhodes , lets call it a day and make Chapter 491 plans tomorrow .

Lauren nodded in agreement , Alright , well talk tomorrow .

After work , Andrew was planning to return directly to Moonlit Sanctuary , but Lauren held onto his arm , refusing to let him go .

Dr.

Lloyd , wont you take me shopping ? she asked in a sweet , clingy voice .

Andrew smiled and replied , Alright , I have nothing else planned anyway .

Lauren said happily , Thank you , my Dr.

Lloyd ! Oh , and Dr.

Lloyd , I have a small request .

What is it , Ms.

Rhodes ? Lauren asked reluctantly , Could you stop calling me Ms.

Rhodes ? It makes us sound too formal .

Id like you to call me Lauren or Laurie .

Andrew hesitated for a moment before forcing a smile and saying , Alright , Ill call you Lauren .

Laurie sounds a bit too affectionate , so lets skip that !
